PURE_REWRITE_RULE : thm list -> thm -> thm

SYNOPSIS
Rewrites a theorem with only the given list of rewrites.

DESCRIPTION
This rule provides a method for rewriting a theorem with the theorems given, and excluding simplification with tautologies in basic_rewrites. Matching subterms are found recursively starting from the term in the conclusion part of the theorem, until no more matches are found. For more details on rewriting see GEN_REWRITE_RULE.

USES
PURE_REWRITE_RULE is useful when the simplifications that arise by rewriting a theorem with basic_rewrites are not wanted.

FAILURE CONDITIONS
Does not fail. May result in divergence, in which case PURE_ONCE_REWRITE_RULE can be used.
